Lyrics

Precious little children—what can I do? Someday they'll remember—what I told you Did it together just you and me Without a man in this family I didn't raise them—it's you they love They will remember the things you've done Sometimes I felt that I've lost my mind Things didn't work out the way we planned And when they grow up and they make good They will repay what I owe to— You'll—be taken care of And they'll—remember you— Precious little children On that you can be sure You—will never want for more When they grow up they'll be kind and smart And you will see that they'll all go far I haven't long but I know it's true These little ones owe a lot to— You'll—be taken care of And they'll—remember you— Precious little children On that you can be sure You—will never want for more You'll be taken care of—they'll remember you Someday they will give you—things I never could You'll be taken care of—on that you can be sure If there's any justice in this world you'll never want for more Someday—I promise you Remember—what I say is true Someday—I promise you Remember—what I say is true
